This sounds like a minor gripe, but when you've planed as much hard maple as I have recently, and you're constantly having to take off the dust hood, clear out the jammed chips and then continue(as, again, I have...grrrrr), you begin to get aggravated. I have had nothing but trouble with the Delta-supplied dust hood for my 22-580 jamming with chips and shavings. It's making me less than....ahem......."chipper"(groan, I know), these days.
Anyone else have a similar problem? If so, what did you do to clear it up?
I'd also be interested in other, shop-built solutions for this planer/problem. Anyone here constructed their own dust hood? Pics would be helpful, and appreciated, if possible. I don't think it's my DC. I have the Jet 650 and it pulls plenty of air, or seems to , anyway.
Thanks, and regards,
Russell
